Chairclosed

Deadline for applications: 17th July 2023

Inclusive Boards is proud to support the Legal Services Consumer Panel in their search for a new Chair.

The Legal Services Consumer Panel (LSCP, ‘the Panel’) exists to represent the interest of consumers in the regulation of legal services. The Panel was established by the Legal Services Board (LSB), the independent body responsible for overseeing the regulation of legal services in England and Wales, under the Legal Services Act 2007. As a permanent, discrete champion for consumers, they have an essential responsibility to ensure that regulators  pay full attention to the user perspective.

The Role

The role of the Chair is to provide leadership in overseeing the delivery of high quality advice to the LSB regarding consumer experience of the legal services market. The Chair will provide highly visible leadership and carefully manage a range of stakeholders to ensure the interests of consumers are advocated for in the legal regulation landscape.  This is a hands-on role with the Chair expected to be more operationally involved than in a ‘traditional’ chair role.

Key responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Chairing panel meetings;
• Supporting panel members in the delivery of their duties;
• Developing and maintaining constructive relationships with the Ministry of Justice, government ministers, Legal Services Board, Office of Legal Complaints, legal regulators and other stakeholders.
